'No matter how much you think you want or need it, the past has to remain just that, the past...'

Could've given you everything that you needbut I cannot turn back the yearsThe perfect love was all you wanted from mebut I cannot turn back the years

So we have to be strong, and I'm finding that hardwe have to move on, but no matter how hard I tryif your heart's in pieces, you look for the truthand when I look deep down inside I know, it's too bad I love you

Sometimes. hits me in the morning, hits me at nightthat I cannot turn back the yearsso I look out my window, turn off my lightbut I cannot turn back the years

Can't make it seem easy, when you're all that I seecan't live in a dream and I won't serenade the truthpeople are hurting and they're looking to meand I look at you there's nothing more to say, it's too bad I love you

But I'm never gonna give it up

All that I lived for, all that I dreamedbut I cannot turn back the yearsYou're the water i drink, you're the air that I breathebut i cannot turn back the years

So we have to be strong, and I'm finding that hardwe have to move on, but no matter how hard I tryif your heart's in pieces, you look for the truthand when I look deep down inside I know, it's too bad I love you
